New Year Goals

I did goals last year, and a POA (plan of action) to achieve them.
I met most of my goals.

Following the same plan for 2011.

Fitness Goals:

GOAL
PLAN OF ACTION
Improve my 5k speed from 37min to under 36 by the end of the year. And get to 2:45-2:50 in a half marathon.
·      Continue with the speedwork and tempo runs once a week. They DO payoff.
·      Once a week of weights, and once a week of boxing. Toning up helps speed up too.

Go for the FULL - Chicago Oct 9, 2011.

It seems like a looooong time away. But I AM going to do it (unless I have to go to India during Aug-Oct). I'm going to join a running group in spring and train for it.
Do another Sprint Triathlon without the fear of drowning
I am going to sign back up for swimming lessons to improve my swim speed. I am trying to target the May Irongirl, but that looks doubtful. So August at Acworth. Subject to change though depending on the India trip.


 Personal Goals (These sound more like resolutions ... sigh) :

GOAL
PLAN OF ACTION
Keep that temper in better check. Be a more playful parent.
 I need to make sure that I'm hydrated and well-fed. The lack of either makes me behave all barmy.

 Run a neater and more organized household - how difficult can that be, eh? Sigh
·      Going to make sure that the kitchen (at the very least) is neat before I go to bed.
·      Big things are picked off the floor in all rooms.
·      Prepare meal plans and be prepared.
·      Keep that TODO list updated.

 Be on-time everywhere
·      Leave 20min earlier than supposed to for work/school. Better early than late.
·      Prepare lunches, and put out clothes, etc for the next day so all I have to do is grab and go.
·      Avoid the internet in the morning. The world is not going to burn if I don't facebook in the morning.

See a task to completion - both work and home

·      Little Projects should not be abandoned. I need to do a LOT of work on being positive about things, or atleast projecting a positive image. I keep getting distracted and unless there is something gripping, or something for me to SOLVE, I am not focusing enough.
·      I don't know how to do this though. Maybe remind myself every 30min to focus, or "reward" myself with 5min of time-off every 30min?



My "Just do it" list
  • Spend less time on the internet.
  • Learn to wear a Sari
  • Continue the secret goal from last year ;)
